ALBAWABA - Richard Strocher, an American living in New York City, claimed to know about a Jewish secret tunnel which was discovered under a historic Brooklyn synagogue in 2023.

Richard Strocher posted in November 2023 that he keeps hearing sounds of Jews living under his apartment in New York.

In detail, the man said that he lives at ground level and confirmed that he has no basement. On X (formerly Twitter), he said: "There are Jews living under my apartment. I hear them its like they are digging or something."

Strocher continued: "For the record: I live at a ground level and we do NOT have a basement."

Nonetheless, the man also posted, around a month after his first X post, "I swear I keep hearing yiddish under the floor in my NY apartment. (I live at ground level and we have no basement)."

A video has gone viral on social media after a huge, illegal and secret tunnel was discovered under a historic Brooklyn synagogue in New York City.

A group of men belonging to a Hasidic Jewish community were arrested on Monday by New York policemen over the discovery of the tunnel.

The synagogue is currently shut down by police as building safety agents in the state are investigating whether a tunnel dug may have caused structural damage to the famed property, The Associated Press reported on Tuesday.

According to police, nine people; between the ages of 19 and 22, were arrested on charges that included criminal mischief, reckless endangerment, and obstructing governmental administration.
